J.R.E.A.M. - Blue Raspberry Sno-Ball
Burley Oak Brewing Co.

So it is a weird color - it is more like a blueish green than straight up blue. It is certainly a very unique color for the beer. There is a thin blue-tinged white head that forms on the beer before quickly dissipating. Aroma has notes of sour, tart berries, raspberries - kind of like sour patch kids. That's really it ...

Taste is really a lot of the same. There are notes of of that sour, tart blue raspberry flavor. Its artificial tasting, but in the sense that all blue raspberry is artificial tasting. There is a light wheat malt base that peeps through the sour notes reminding you that this is, in spite of everything to the contrary, actually a beer. Its remarkably one note, but does accomplish that one note extremely well. In terms of the feel, its lighter bodied, brightly carbonated. It is sour and tart enough to produce a pucker.

Overall this is an interesting and unique beer. It accomplishes what it sets out to very well so it certainly deserves credit for that.

13 oz tulip glass pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a weird pond scummy greenish-blue (mostly green) with very little head. Intriguing color, but somewhat off-putting as well. Aroma and flavor feature authentic blue raspberry, quite sweet but slightly tart as well. Some wheat flavor but mostly just blue razz snow cone. Mouthfeel is well-carbonated and spritzy. Overall a gimmicky "beer" that is tasty but would be better in the hot summer months.
